(1) Under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 Finland may, subject to authorisation by the Commission, grant aid for certain quantities of herbaceous seeds and cereal seeds owing to the specific climatic conditions of that country.

(2) On the basis of information sent to the Commission by Finland, the Commission forwarded to the Council the report required under Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71. That report shows that the aid granted between 1995 and 1999 did not affect trade between the Member States. As a result, it is appropriate to uphold the possibility for Finland, subject to authorisation by the Commission, to grant aid for the production of herbaceous seeds and cereal seeds, but to make provision for a new Commission report before 1 January 2006, together with any necessary proposals.
